Couples often come in worrying that their relationship is beyond repair. What they don’t realize is that with help, we can quickly begin to unravel problematic communication patterns. The result is that each person may actually begin to get what they want – to be loved, respected, heard and understood. Illuminating and reworking this communication dance happens alongside a careful and compassionate exploration into each individual’s history – the traumas and family dynamics which contribute to the negative cycle. 

I absolutely love working with couples. My personal style is highly interactive, supportive, and more direct than when working with individuals. I blend attachment theory (EFT), with systems theory and a trauma informed, psychodynamic consideration of the past.  

If you have never experienced couples therapy and would like a glimpse, I strongly recommend watching Couples Therapy with Dr. Orna Guralnik on Showtime. It gives a very accurate depiction of what the process is like.
